Heh, this should be fun. I only really had this thing planned up to Ch. 4. Well, improvisation, here we come! As a result, the following chapters may take a bit longer to produce. Sorry! Keep reviewing, I may become inspired again. XD

Kairi sat in the cool depths of the Secret Place. She looked around at the scribbles on the walls. Her childhood was in this cave. Her stolen childhood...
She ran her hand along the moist cavern walls, letting it rest on her drawing of Sora. "Hmf." She sighed. At one point he had loved her and her alone. She lazily traced the outline of the Paopu fruit he was giving to her own likeness.
"I can't believe this is happening... Sora... How could you...?" She let silver tears glide down her cheeks. After all this time, waiting, this was what she got? A ten-year-old drawing and painful memories? She tried to suppress her sobs but they soon took her over. She collapsed to her knees and placed her head on the childish images.
'I can't share you... You have to choose. You have to...' Kairi couldn't help but feel she'd been mean to Sora. She didn't mean to be, but... Well, wouldn't anyone react that way if his or her only love wanted to be with someone else? Especially a guy...
She had a hard time wrapping her mind around the fact that they were gay. When had this surfaced? Seven years /is/ a long time, but... Come on now, gay? Maybe that's what had hurt her so much. Maybe she wouldn't have really minded as much if it was another girl, but Sora loved a man. This was too weird.
She hadn't really suspected the truth until yesterday; staring at Riku's dominating hand in a tattered old photograph. She tried to think back to the days before the heartless. Had they shown any signs of this then? Her mind searched and she remembered the way Sora always blushed a little when Riku paid him a compliment; the way Riku always tried to look more dignified when Sora was around; the way the two just seemed... happier when the other was there.
'Oh, great.' She slumped down even further. 'They even showed it then. How stupid was I? How stupid was I to believe that I could have him for myself...?'
Moonlight drifted through the hole in the ceiling of the cave, casting eerily beautiful shadows all around her. 'It's getting late. I should get back.' She thought, standing and brushing herself off.
Kairi walked slowly to the cave's entrance, wiping tears from her eyes as she went. She gently pushed some branches aside to leave, but immediately let them go and stood wide-eyed in shock.
It must've been the worst thing that could happen to her at the time. There in the moonlight was Sora, lying in Riku's arms, both rocking gently. She ran back down the tunnel, sobbing uncontrollably.
How convenient for her she chose that exact time to leave, for what she could have seen next might've killed her.

Sorry for the short chapter, but I figured I might as well get Kairi's side in there. I've portrayed her as a bit of an ass. Thought I'd give her a reason for acting that way. I mean, what would /you/ do if /your/ boyfriend or girlfriend suddenly turned gay? Or even just wanted to leave you for that matter? She's waited seven years and she doesn't even get him back. She has a right to be bitchy. ^_^
